I got the New Bike Bug - Schwinn Swindler 275

Been fighting the cravings and finally relapsed. I built a new 80cc bike just for fun. I'm on the fist tank of gas and was clocked on Photo radar going 32 MPH. Not to shabby for less than 10 miles and break in fuel.


Schwinn Swindler 27.5"

It's the 66cc flying horse angle fire. My spark plug faces the opposite way of yours and the carb wouldn't clear the frame.

Pull the cylinder head top cap off and spin it 180 degrees. It should fit then. If you had the wide mount engine kit like Brandon504, it would fit better and you wont need an offset intake manifold. I went with the extender intake from BGF. The 27.5" wheels make the top speed faster too. Your gonna love it.

Help!

I just bought the swindler.As you guys, I knew it would make a great motorized bike. After reading your posts, I realized that I can't put just any motor in, and I will need to make a few modifications. This is my first "bikebuild" and I would appreciate any information concerning what parts you used to make it work, and where you got them. I was really excited that you saw the potential of this bike also. Just bought it at Wally world, came home and typed name in computer, and bang!!!! Here I am. I thank you in advance for any help and will keep you posted.

This looks interesting...

Does it make it easier to mount the inner stock sprocket supports?

Nice work on the rag joints by the way, that's how they should be done and a great pic of the 'sandwich'.
